Abstract

This study examined the determinants of construction project performance in Kilosa District, Morogoro Region, with a specific focus on human, financial, material, and technological resources as guided by the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. The study employed a descriptive-explanatory research design, adopting a quantitative approach. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 120 respondents, including project managers, engineers, contractors, and local government officials. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression techniques were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that human resource capacity, financial management practices, and material availability significantly influence construction project performance, while technological adoption showed a moderate but positive effect. The study concludes that project success largely depends on the effective utilization and management of internal resources and the timely adoption of supportive technologies. The study recommends that local government authorities and the contractors' registration board strengthen financial control systems, enhance technical training programs, and integrate appropriate technological tools into project implementation and monitoring. The study contributes to both theory and practice by contextualizing the RBV framework within Tanzania’s construction sector and providing empirical insights to improve project performance in public and private construction works. Keywords: Determinants, Construction projects, Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, Project performance, Kilosa District
